Summer LINK Clemson: Week 8


Well, another week has come and gone here in Clemson. It seems surreal that we only have a handful of days left as members of CLINK. But, I digress…this week we had the opportunity to have our Equipping Night at the Freeman’s home on Lake Keowee. They were kind enough to open up their home for the entire afternoon for us to spend time out on the water. We swam, skied, kayaked, wakeboarded, and watched Carson do all kinds of crazy jumps into the water. Needless to say, we all enjoyed each other’s company, as usual. Hearing the Freeman’s testimony of faithfulness to go where the Lord calls them was extremely encouraging and an excellent reminder that the Lord has prosperous plans for all of us as we leave college and beyond.

This week was another week filled with birthdays as we celebrated Krystal’s with a party after CP group and BT Chub’s birthday the following day with trick candles and rocket balloons! We had an epic camping trip planned, akin to the characters in the Sandlot sleeping in the tree house, but unfortunately some nasty weather rolled in on Friday and we had to go to plan B, which was hanging out at the G LINK guys house and cooking all of the food we had already bought. Side note, we have been watching Lord of the Rings as a group and Brocktimus Prime was able to find some LOTR Pez dispensers! How wonderful! At the guys house we played cards (a common theme for our group), slack lined, tossed the football around, played corn hole, and of course looked up funny YouTube videos. It wasn’t camping but we were thankful for the time the Lord provided to bring us even closer together.

As others have mentioned before in their posts, it has been amazing to see the community and fellowship that has developed this summer. To see His hand work in all of our lives and bring us all together is truly amazing. We may be loud, crazy, and a whole lot of fun but we all are living for the Lord and seeking to glorify Him through our words, thoughts, and actions. Even hearing how other CLINKers have engaged in Gospel-centered conversations throughout this week and this summer has worked to spur the rest of us on towards fulfilling the Great Commission.

Praying for our brothers and sisters around the world as they too fulfill the Great Commission.
